What's a Rugby mate, isn't that some kind of old car? ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Ok, I know a Duck's arse is something to do with the way people
wore their hair in the 60's, right?

Do whales play against the Predators?
just wondering...
I saw a rugby game once, and then partied with the girls teams
afterward while the guys were playing. ;D

 found the game to be quite enjoyable, you might say.. :P

Hey Michel, I thought all female Rugby players were Lesbians? Maybe they thought you were a french chick? I guess you had more hair back then, ha ha!  ;D

Terry, an old cruiser round the road from me, whose home brew I like to sample, used to have a rugby car, apparently it had split rims and one day he got a puncture in the middle of nowhere, so stuffed the tyre with grass. he said he drove it for months like that then sold the car complete with said repair.

That wouldn't surprise me mate, I bought a 1948 Ford Prefect back in 1976, the owner had broken a chassis rail on a trip to Darwin back in the 1950's, so had fence-wired a lump of redgum to it, and it was still in operation when I bought it! I guess things were easier to fix back then.................  ;D

Rugby is a hooligans game, played by gentlemen.

Football (soccer) is a gentlemens, played by hooligans.

...or so the sayings go.

Will someone please explain why they changed the rule so that players can noiw be hoisted in the air in the line out.

One of the favourite pastimes in post-game revelry was 'toss the scrum half'. Assuming we were in a big enough hall everyone dumped their beer in a trail down the length of the room, then teams had to see how far they could make their (naked) scrum half slide. Very amusing...... well the female teams thought so, anyway.

Why is it that after a match someone always ends up naked, covered with beer and in some sort of "how far can we" or "how many can we knock down" type game? :-\

with my football club, when a team won a championship we would get on the booze back at the clubrooms, then later at night turn the floodlights on and play nude bullrush, some of the neighbours used to look forward to this time of year for a bit of entertainment.

back to Test Rugby tonight, where we kick some Australian butt, so just about time to start the warm up procedure, beer and more beer

Tough luck scunny - have another beer ;D
I'm looking forward to the world cup next year, although I've got a nasty feeling England aren't going to put up much of a defence of their title - they've been playing poorly for the last couple of years and I don't think it's a clever tactic to deceive the opposition!

From this distance it looks like the kiwis will be pretty hard to beat - playing really good plus you don't think you have won the thing as many times as you should have. Outside bet on France though - they can beat anybody on their day if they can be bothered.

Isn't USA playing Uruguay for a place in the group stage today. They should go through and will be in the same group as England I think? (correct me if I'm wrong). Should be fun. ;D What group will Canada be in?
